Useful stuff, can I just ask should the wipers meet in the centre of the window or are the offset to the passenger side and should they meet together then drop back down or overlap the meeting point one after the other? Mine seem a bit wonky to watch! Are they all like this? :crazy
Thanks

Tom ...... the second part of your question is correct ...... they should actually just meet at the meeting point one after the other which is offset to the passenger side, not particularly overlap, and yes, they are all like that ....... "Happy Clappey Action" some call them. :crazy
Below is a pic of mine in the park position, and to adjust to that position, just remove the arms from the shaft splines and re position to get each wiper angle right. If the wiper blades are closer to the bottom of the screen in park position, then the blades will not "meet" where they should.
However, their action will always leave a line of water where the "meeting point" is, but at reasonable speed it blows away quite nicely.

John, I sort of expected your man cave to be a bit tidier than this picture.

LOL ..... not quite as bad as it looks Simon but after 50 years of collecting bits and pieces, what do you expect. ;)

Thank you John, that's a big help. Mine are close to yours now although I did try to bring them further down in the park position to begin with.......... So Happy clappy it is then!
